Recycle and Reuse



Recycling isn't just for bottles and newspapers. I'm all about transforming the old and making it new. These chairs were destined for the dump when they were colorfully resurrected. Prior to the transformation they were dated and drab. White lacquer finish and nubby-beige-circa-1980 seat cushions. A little sanding, priming, painting and polyurethaning did the trick here along with the addition of a finial on top. Recovering chair seats is easy (how-to demo coming soon).

For less ambitious folks, use decoupage decals instead of handpainting.
